I understand the logic behind removing toxic people from one’s life. But I also understand that many who are “toxic” are acting out of a painful past… and that to marginalize someone who’s not known much love is to validate that they don’t matter. To live in the world we desire — a world of good people, safe places — requires less fence-building and more heart-building. It requires valuing the worth of all people and loving the hurt as much as possible. . Renata Bowers
